Friday Favs

Good morning to you! Today's Friday Favs is a completely random mix of offerings! Enjoy...

1. Miranda Lambert

My mom, sister, and brother- in-law and I went to her Locked and Reloaded concert with Dierks Bentley last night in Lubbock. She puts on a phenomenal show! I love going to concerts and hearing all of the artists' hits at once. I never realize how much I like some musicians until I hear them live! 

2. Faux Wood Fire Place

Click the link to find a tutorial to create this look for your fireplace. I have always loved the look of stacked logs in a fireplace, but was always overwhelmed with the thought of having to find all the wood! I might attempt this come winter...

3. Century Table Lamp in Gold from Z Gallerie

I have been loving all things metallic, as seen on my fall mantle this year.  I would love to incorporate these lamps into my decor somehow. They would add the perfect touch of glam to a bedroom, or an unexpected pop in a powder room or even office. The price tag is a little steep for my tastes, but I'm hoping to find a thrifted lamp with the same lines and introduce it to some gold spray paint :). 

4. Kraft Paper Roller

What a fun way to leave special notes, reminders, or just doodle some artwork that can quickly be torn off when no longer needed. Kraft paper is one of my favorite things! I use it for wrapping gifts and for my kids to color on, but I would love to do something like this in our office. 

5. Sara Designs Crystal Wrap watch

Funny story. I pinned a watch from Anthropology exactly like this one about two years ago. I put off buying it, and when I went to gawk at it one day, it. was. GONE! Forever. I was sad, but moved on. I happened to stumble upon this little gem a couple of weeks ago and fell in love all over again! It is definitely a splurge piece, but I told Clay I would wear everyday. Even with Nike shorts.

Here's a real life shot to give you a better look :) 

Hope y'all have a fantastic weekend! 

be blessed,

Happy, happy Friday to ya! Today's Friday Favs edition is dedicated to Fall front porches. You can see my Pinterest Board here for more inspiration.

The rich orange and reds hues of the mums perfectly balance the white of the house and small gourds. Mums are one of my favorite annuals!

This porch incorporates my favorite Fall porch accents: hay bales, mums, gourds/pumpkins, and corn stalks. Nailed it!

A little more understated, but with that front door, little decor is needed! This is a perfect option for those with a smaller front porch space.

Love the Scarecrow and everything else!

Thistlewood Farms

This blog has SO many great tutorials, and the transformation of their beautiful farmhouse is breathtaking! The Fall front porch is one of my favorites!

I'll have a blog post about OUR Fall front porch coming up in a few weeks! Follow us on Instagram for sneak peeks. Next week is Fall Tablescapes and Mantle link party week. Super excited to show you our fall decor ;). Have a fabulous weekend!

Friday Favs

For your weekend enjoyment, a list of my current favorites. In no particular order...

1. Hints of fall. Fall is hands down my favorite season. The colors, the flavors, the clothes. Everything. I may or may not have put out my fall decor on September 2nd. If Starbucks says its fall with Pumpkin Spice Lattes, its fall :). I was super pumped to see the first offering of fall ornamentals at the HEB today! 

2. The new Threshold line at Target. Everything this line comes out with, I could find a place for it in my house. I spotted these beauties while on my child free Target run yesterday. They made me happy, and almost inspired me to bake something. Almost.

3. Chipotle. My favorite are the burrito bowls. You get more of the yummy goodness of the inside of the tortilla without the whole spill over mess of the burrito on your hands. Midland is getting one, and needless to say, The Whitehead household is super excited! My husband is contemplating where he will eat dinner the other two nights of the week after it opens here :).

4. J. R. Watkins hand soap. I discovered this stuff at Target in Lubbock (are you beginning to realize my slight Target addiction?).  It smells so clean and light, and it actually makes your hands feel clean. I haven't spotted it in our Target store yet, but that's the beauty/curse of online shopping.

5. DEFINE. Midland. This gem of a yoga/pilates/spin/barre studio opened a few months ago in Midland (check out our FB page for pics of the pieces we made for them!). The classes are a great workout, the staff is super friendly, and you feel more like you are at a spa than a gym. They are having a grand opening party next Thursday night, so if you're in Midland, you should check them out! 

Hope you enjoy your weekend! 

be blessed,
